The Fifty-first FIGURE.

A Corinthian Design in Perspective.

This Plate contains the Perspective of a Corinthian Work, with its Preparations. The Geometrical Plan A shews the Wall wrought hollow behind the Columns. The said Plan in Perspective is D: and leaving out the Geometrical Elevation, the Perspective thereof is describ’d, by transferring the Heights of the former into the Line BC. From the Perspective-Plan and Upright the Design is finish’d after the usual Manner; to which is added the Ornament of a single Statue.
